HOW RADIOACTIVE WAS YOUR DINNER TODAY?

***UPDATE: 10/17/2016***FOR THIS ARTICLE AND ANY OTHER IN WHICH I WROTE 'MICHAEL COLLINS OF MINING AWARENESS+ "... I WAS MISTAKEN.COLLINS IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF THAT BLOG SITE, BUT IS AT LEAST ONE OF THE AUTHORS AT ENVIRO REPORTER.

THE TEA ROOM APOLOGIZES FOR SUCH WRONG INFORMATION AND WILL DO MY BEST NOT TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE.MEA CULPA. ***(END UPDATE)***

POIGNANT QUESTION...NO WAY TO KNOW THE ANSWER WITHOUT OUR OWN TESTING LABS.

We have been and will continue to be "in the dark" about most of the food we consume because of several things, but the ones that come to mind frequently, to me, are ...

(1) the fact that the U.S. was sued by Canada and Mexico and agreed to STOP LABELING our foods as to what nation they originate from.

So, now, if food is from even the grounds of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear facility, our government will not label its source.

Think about that.

Some nations use HUMAN EXCREMENT to fertilize fields of produce.What may be in THAT, only those providing the "fertilizer" may know, or may not know.

Some nations raise food animals under very horrible conditions, worse even than the U.S.' mega-feedlots and crowded, contaminated poultry houses.

Some nations inject chemicals into their meat animals that, supposedly, we don't use here anymore.

Some nations will use portions of cancerous animals, diseased animals and toss the worst parts. If we have no regulation over that, and we don't on IMPORTS anymore, is that juicy bite of steak from an animal that was dying of cancer or some other disease?We just don't know...not anymore!

Thanks to Congress' agreement to cease labeling all origins of all foods, we will never know where our next meal comes from.

DID WE GET A VOTE ON CESSATION OF LABELING?HELL NO!

(2) GMO FOODS, WHAT I CALL "FRANKENFOODS" , ARE ALSO RARELY LABELED IN THE U.S. Roughly 90% of ALL corn and a bit more than that of ALL soy products here in the USA are GMO products, What else is GMO?GUESS!That's about all we CAN do...guess.

(3) CARCINOGENIC PESTICIDES ARE USED IN ALL NON-ORGANIC CROPS AND DRIFT OVER ONTO SOME ORGANIC CROPS NEAR THOSE CHEMICALLY TREATED FIELDS.

For Europe the level is 600 Bq, and if it comes from Japan the EU demands 100 Bq so that there is no radioactive food dumping.

(Canada, Australia and New Zealand apparently allow 1000 Bq based on UN estimates which use flawed assumptions regarding the amount of food eaten and outdated conversion factors.)

Some places in the US still flaunt the law for now (the ban on labeling) , or it hasn’t entered into effect. Afterwards your only protection from Fukushima food will be growing your own or befriending your local farmer.

Japan has exported “organic” jam with some radiation.

Furthermore, without food labeling Japan can dump all of its radioactive food upon the US since Americans are expected to eat 15 times more radiation than the Japanese.

Already in 1950, the late William Russell of Oak Ridge National Labs stated regarding ionizing radiation: “There is no threshold dose. In other words, genetic changes may be expected at any dose, no matter how small…”

The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission is apparently still currently examining a proposal to increase radiation exposure for the American people by 100 times (100 mSv) the already high amount considered acceptable internationally (1 mSv), and 400 times that allowed by the US EPA (0.25 mSv).

This can be called nothing but a genocidal war on the American people, as it means that after only 10 years of exposure, each American would get one extra cancer, if it did not build up in the environment and if it were the only exposure.

But, it does build up in the environment, and it is not the only exposure.

Most people forget what was done to the American Indians. Do you really think that a country that would do this to the American Indian would treat you any better?

These policies prove that the lives of the non-indigenous inhabitants of America have no value to the government, either."

PROFITS ALWAYS TRUMP HUMAN LIVES.THAT'S JUST A FACT AND COLLINS KNOWS THIS PERHAPS BETTER THAN MOST.

WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT ALL THIS?FIRST, BE AN INFORMED CITIZEN AND STOP BELIEVING WHAT THE NEWS MEDIA AND FEDERAL AGENCIES TWIST ABOUT TO AVOID THE FACTS.

BECOME VERY VOCAL! Complain to your government officials. In fact, whine and complain about high levels of radiation allowed in your food, as well as this potential 100 mSv per year GENOCIDE, to as many people as you can.

Who will pay for these extra cancers? Who will care for the sick?

Remember that each becquerel is a radioactive shot through your body cells PER SECOND. Shots are random and there may or may not be adequate repair.

Damage may not even be visible, however, until future generations.

When people go around shooting randomly at people it is called a crime or even terrorism.

How is 1500 radioactive shots per second, into your body, for each 2.2 pounds of food eaten ok?

How is it not a crime?

This is not from medical exposure. This is from nuclear weapons or nuclear power, not necessarily in your own country.

Did you benefit from Fukushima electricity?

Why should you eat their radioactive waste food, that even the Japanese don’t want?

Why should you eat radioactive waste food even from your own country.

IF WE HAD PUSHED FOR SOLAR...The sunbelt alone could light up North America.

If Reagan-Republicans wouldn’t have axed President Carter’s solar-renewable plans, the US would be currently running off of solar-renewables, and certainly have no nuclear (except what is “needed” for nuclear weapons upkeep).

THE TEA ROOM IS WITH COLLINS ON THIS.I'VE TRIED TO GET THIS "OUT THERE" IN DOZENS OF BLOGS ACROSS THE YEARS HERE.

WE ARE PROMISED, BY OUR ORIGINAL CONSTITUTION, THE RIGHT TO LIFE...LIFE, DAMN IT!LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.

HOW CAN ONE BE HAPPY, OR HAVE LIBERTY IF FACTS AND TRUTH ARE HIDDEN FROM US, MANIPULATED AND TWISTED SO AS TO BE HARD TO DISCERN?

FOR ME, FREEDOM INCLUDES THE FREEDOM OF FACTUAL INFORMATION!

LIBERTY SHOULD MEAN I AM AT LIBERTY TO DECIDE WHAT GOES INTO MY OWN BODY, TO KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM, WHAT NATION IT ORIGINATED IN, WHAT IS IN IT, IF IT'S PUMPED FULL OF CARCINOGENIC CHEMICALS, IF IT'S A DAMNABLE GMO PRODUCT, IF IT'S HIGHER IN RADIATION THAN OTHER FOODS.

WE STOPPED DEMANDING, AMERICA.WE CEASED BEING "THE BOSS" THAT WE, IN FACT, STILL ARE, IF WE CHOOSE TO CLAIM IT.ALL OUR POLITICIANS, ALL OUR SUPPLIERS OF ANYTHING USED TO ANSWER TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.THE CUSTOMER WAS ALWAYS RIGHT, THE VOTERS ALWAYS HAD THE FINAL SAY.

WE USED TO DEMAND BETTER, AND SO WE RECEIVED BETTER.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT?

WHEN DID WE BECOME SO APATHETIC AND COMPLACENT THAT POLITICIANS AND INDUSTRY DECIDED THEY CAN DICTATE TO US WHAT WE WILL HAVE?

THINK ABOUT LIFE, THINK ABOUT LIBERTY, THINK ABOUT HOW HAPPY WE MIGHT ALL BE IF WE CALLED THE SHOTS AGAIN.
